Ibn Khaldun Center for Development Studies

Ibn Khaldun Center for Development Studies (ICDS) "is a non- governmental professional institution, registered in Cairo since 1988 as a limited liability civil company (license no. 3044). Its headquarters is located in Mokattam Hills.

"ICDS has its own research, advocacy, and development programs, but it also conducts commissioned research, provides consultation and training services to governmental and non-governmental organizations on issues of public policy. The Center carries out supportive activities related to its objectives, including organizing seminars, conferences and the publication and dissemination of information."

Writing in 2010, Michael Barker notes that "the Ibn Khaldun Center only received its first NED grant in 2005 to "establish and maintain" a new Egyptian Democracy Support Network."
